“I am pleased to see Denmark ranked as the least corrupt country in the world for the fourth time. It recognises our public sector as both transparent and well-organized, and it shows that Denmark offers a safe and stable environment for both people and businesses,” says the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Kristian Jensen.

Denmark is often highlighted as a good place to do business, because of the safe business environment with no bribery and a very well-functioning public sector. Just recently, The World Bank ranked Denmark as the best place in Europe for business, while Forbes Magazine ranked Denmark the best for business worldwide.
